Time after time we forge to find the reason

To remain – the eloquence of sounds hinder the pain

Lie after lie – retaining what was once the auburn sky

As our world begins to fade.....

We know the end is coming near

In this prelude into fear

Relive the past through memories of hope

Cannot regain – oppressor – he has risen to retain

Now overthrown – relinquishing to those who bear no shame

Now it is he who reigns

We know the end is coming near

In this prelude into fear

We know the end is coming near

In this prelude into fear

Look to the eyes of black – they plead – be free again

But now through their attack we pay for their sins

As we fear – indefinite corruption

Mortal decay – choosing to resist engulfs the pain

As skies turn grey – what once a world of hope is now enslaved

The nightmare has begun...

We know the end is coming near (end is coming near)

In this prelude into fear

We know the end is coming near (end is coming near)

In this prelude into fear
